If you’re searching for a private CT scan in Toronto, there’s one important thing you should know first:
You cannot pay for a private CT scan in Ontario.
There are no private imaging clinics in the province that allow you to pay out of pocket for an expedited CT scan. All CT scans in Ontario must go through the public healthcare system, and unfortunately, this often comes with long wait times—sometimes months. While the Ontario Government is trying to open new clinics in an effort to fix the problem, there is still a large backlog of patients waiting for scans. The average wait time for a CT scan is over 3 months in Ontario!
So, what are your options?

Important: CT Scans Are Not Covered by OHIP
Because this is a private service in the U.S., CT scans are not covered by OHIP. You will need to pay out of pocket for your scan, but for many patients, the clarity and peace of mind that come with fast, accurate results is well worth it—especially when time is of the essence.
